"Two of America's top law-enforcement officials, Attorney General Eric Holder and former Justice Department Criminal Division chief Lanny Breuer, confessed that it's dangerous to prosecute offending banks because they are simply too big. Making arrests, they say, might lead to "collateral consequences" in the economy."

that is a huge problem: the attitude of law enforcement. makes me wonder about all the nuclear financing… how much collusion, fraud, potential RICO Act violations, etc in the nuc financing, trillions of dollars at stake in all (not including the NucMIC)

what? I haven't used a major bank in the US for many many years and I typically never made enough money to contribute much in the way of tax exploitation to GovMIC & when I had to pay taxes, I nearly always got all or most back. There may have been one or two years of my working life that I actually owed the IRS something, and it was never much, like less than a thousand. And, as a child, I began a path of protesting war… so, What exactly are you inferring?

Im maybe a total hypocrite since im totally bitter but bitterness is pointless.Maybe thats why im so sad about watching this wonderful world die.
When those who should have known better destroy all of us including themselves this is beyond evil. Its just plain stupid.Einstein understood that if our technologies advance beyond the believable but our mind set remains stuck in a ignorant past we are in great danger.

oK how do you prevent the inevitable? Especially when their protectionism of the various industries that would crumble the moment the Truth comes out? There are no easy answers.Once the doomsday bomb went off arent we all doomed? How do we save the DNA not only of the human species but all of the species…>>How do we save the food chain? How do we save the Oceans that produce 70& of all oxygen?

Interesting that, rather than the 'accepted' theory that there was a 'spike' of radiation after the initial explosions that eventually died down to a lower, yet consistently higher and growing level, we now have official documentation that the levels of radiation in Tokyo are now as high as they were in the week after 3/11.

Tokyo (and most of the rest of middle and probably southern Honshu) is now, with combined aggregate background and further release from Fukushima, almost at par with the worst of the initial radiation spike, when rod pieces were still in the air.

They will now start the climb over the initial release, steadily and accumulative.

Unimaginable that the world doesn't do something for the people that live there. We are just going to watch them cook.

If I may ask?… Could you please put these numbers into some kind of perspective for everyone? mb something like…
1.How about if this story was actually about my living room, for example, at 10ft x 10ft x 10ft? What concentrations of these lovely listed elements do these #s really represent?(the whole bequerel thing makes my eyes glaze over every time, sorry, its been explained but still it comes in lots of variations) And then by extension,…
2.Would the provided scenario also equate to someone's living space exposure in/around Tokyo, or are these measurements from street level? Tops of buildings? Soil? groundwater? car air filters? etc…. Thank you in advance

It's like a forest fire, centered in Fukushima. The fire is massive, and spewing a constant stream of clear, radioactive ash. This ash, of course, is heavier around the site of the fire, but is still rising into the jetstream and blowing around the world, and has been for two years. The fire, and the ash, will continue to burn for hundreds of thousands of years.

The firemen, spraying water on the fire, are washing out a tremendous amount of ash into the ocean – incredible amounts of this radioactive ash. It is already killing off every layer of the ocean's foodchain.

The deadly ash will only continue to get thicker and thicker, everywhere on the planet, as the fire continues to rage out of control. The ash falls into the rivers, polluting our drinking water supply. The ash falls on the farm fields, polluting our food. We breathe it in daily.

After a fire burns through millions and millions of acres of thick forest, there is no way to measure the ash created. You just know there was a lot of ash sent skyward.

Fukushima has the thickest layer of ash, followed by the middle of Japan, which includes the 30 million inhabitants of Tokyo. They are eyeball deep in the ash, and their lungs – as are all the rest of the world – are full of this radioactive ash.

The ash next came heaviest to the US and Canada, on the winds and currents. We are chest deep in ash, and it's rising daily. Soon we will drown in this ash.

This invisible ash is full of hundreds of radioisotopes – some of the most lethal being uranium and plutonium.

There is no escaping this radioactive ash. It's everywhere, circling the globe, slowly shutting out our view of the sun, choking us to death.

We don't know when the larger part of the Japanese population will begin to suffer openly from their massive exposure to this ash. It is clear that we in the US and Canada will not be far behind in displaying similar symptoms. We do know that the Japanese children are the hardest hit, as ours will be.

We also know that there is no serious attempt being made to stop the forest fire, or contain the ash. If no attempt is made to stop a forest fire, we know it will continue to burn, until it runs out of fuel. In this case, the fuel will last for hundreds of thousands of years.

Some can say everything is fine, some can say it's bad, but there is no escaping the truth that this fire is the worst fire to ever happen in the history of this planet, and we as a species will not survive it. No species will.

Thanks for giving the invisible radiation a tangible reality. I have long been admiring the heroic financial and engineering efforts that will result in the 600X600 foot plus Novarka Arch sliding on rails and covering Chernobyl in just 2years.

With tepco/japan doing comparatively nothing, I am envisioning French Novarka proposing the construction of a series of even larger arches, to be built in Tokyo and affected northern areas, not for the purpose of containing radiation, but for safely containing people and farms, and keeping the rising and otherwise unstoppable ELE radiation on the outside.

Oh wait…it will be GE building the domes…"We Bring Good Things Inside"

BnB sez…" It's interesting though that we didn't see such a remarkable spike last year."

SP: Their "official" radiation numbers are always manipulated. Maybe a few nucleocrats in Japan are deserting the official line. Secure givernment jobs don't mean much if your progeny are facing radiation illnesses. That could be a really big guilt trip around the family dinner table. Many Japanese are seething with anger…not enough to revolt, but it's a growing trend.

Dear BreadAndButter,
Interesting…http://www.japantravelinfo.com/news/news_item.php?newsid=431
I just clipped a youtube to Stock of typical family life in Hawaii. If this is what you're mentioning, I realize the promo, but the greater message is about lifestyle, family, and how we put ourselves and those we love at risk if we are not informed.
Folks in the islands need to know!
Aloha.

It's not just that. Apparently the high Cesium-134 (which only has a half-life of 2 ears, unlike cesium-137)is proof that it is freshly-fissioned radiation, NEW ONGOING SPEWING, not just (let's say) that radiation migrated from another location in Japan.

It would be interesting to see if those earthquakes coincided with the spikes. The cesium-134 means NEWLY spewed radiation. It would mean that the already-cracked-apart nuclear plant just got damaged even more rom more earthquake damage. Gives a whole new meaning to "it never ends" since earthquakes are, and will be, ongoing.

They are not only ongoing , they are also increasing from the heating up of earth's crust , generating more tectonic friction from expanding. The lifting of the polar tectonic plates from the loss of ice sheet weight .
And drilling and fracking and melting and …

Holy crap!. This is very serious. How can this data be ignored or explained away? Everyone in Tokyo is currently being nuked, but not just Tokyo, because this air has travelled to get to Tokyo it will be affecting a very large area. There will be millions of people inhaling this dangerously polluted air. Not only that, but this "plume" will soon reach other countries, and their people, and all life….
Why do we put up with this? WAKE UP JAPAN! WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP JAPAN, it's all in your hands – The people of Japan need to stand up and wake up or we are all going to die.

+311 on the hot ca-ca! ~ I see the recent fecal offerings in the form of Japan "amazingly" being barely hit by the impacts of Fukushima which stood up "so well despite the level of damage expected following 311 magnitude events,etc." and I think to myself "yeah well if that's true then it's only because of those prevailing offshore winds blowing it mostly into the Pacific Ocean and obviously well beyond what they "claim" were the expected fallout impacted zones" I'd say up until now maybe given the implications my theory holds that I suggest it's possible that Japan would follow the USA & Canada regarding the order of the nations under a multi-pronged nuclear assault from more or less spewing, crusty,old,crumbling NPP's in widespread operation against sound logic and as someone else said in another thread "against the usual human instincts of survival,self-preservation especially when their own children are at risk of harm via whatever foul crap they're up to"(my version anyway,lol) My point being that I question their true origin(?)! I actually wonder sometimes if we weren't invaded & enslaved to "mine" radioactive materials and other space alien needs(?)!! In retrospect I realized it didn't make ME crazy for harboring such ideas as options for finding explanation for the actions of those of "our" species responsible for ALL of "THIS"!! I'm ashamed to be associated by presumably similar DNA of the same humanoid species. I' betting the China EQ is…

>>cont'd>> may well be what's hitting Tokyo if not yet another ongoing nuke FUKUp happening in Japan or as it was suggested-"the Spring pollen count" may now be measured with a Geiger Counter(?)!! Who knows?? everybody gets nuked until the global economy and wealth/power structure order is sorted out amongst the sons of jackals?!! Lotta good people getting FUKuD!! Too many!! Stories li9ke this article are just the start of the beginning of the grotesque world radiation is poised to mutate everything in nature that we have known & may well be the last generations to know what was once and what was lost that none of the generations of the beings radiation mutated forms we evolve into will ever know…

The people of Japan cannot control this. They need to be educated themselves. Certainly no one should be murdered without at least knowing who is doing this and how. That's the core of human dignity, whatever happens to their collective medical health.

Yoichi Shimatsu is very good, and very courageous, as he goes back and forth to Japan (he's based elsewhere in Asia, maybe Thailand.) He's Japanese-American, but when he lived in Japan he was editor of the Japan Times.

“Should the public discover the true health cost(s) of nuclear pollution, a cry would rise from all parts of the world and people would refuse to cooperate passively with their own death.” – Rosalie Bertell

Then it will be "they don't know why," and they are going to "study" it. Like we're still told nothing about the dying sea lions in California, much less whether they've been tested for radiation. What's escalating now will take intensive education for people and whole ecologies in a progressively debilitating state. And the culture is so dumbed-down as is, that it is hard to know what/if social structure will support or foster that.

In response to a Hawaii based news blogger who puts full effort into his work, he asks an innocent question….are we in danger from Fukushima.

I answered with the following.

—————————————————————

I have been measuring radiation regularly on Oahu since about 9 months after Fukushima when I got my first Geiger. I ending up shipping that one to a Japanese family with young kids who really needed it. Then I bought another.

Oahu has been steady at around 12000 clicks per 8 hour period. That is 25 clicks per minute.

Amazing, in round numbers, Oahu in the last 3 weeks has been 14400 clicks per 8 hours, or 30 clicks per minute

This is a stable 20% increase, probably due to radiation in the water finally making its way here. this will be cesium and strontium, as well as uranium and plutonium ALL which are quite nasty.

Helen Caldicott said she would move her whole family to Australia (where she is from originally)if SFP4 collapses. But for all we know, it has ALREADY collapsed, or parallel damage is just as bad. It's getting difficult to plan….

Which is why we need some agency in Japan that is independent of their governments influence, outside of Tepco's and Yakuza influence and impervious to pressure from any Nuclear organization but still has the knowledge base to comprehend the situation. I don't know where we would find someone let alone several someone's that have the ethics and the level of understanding required and still be stupid enough to run towards the "forest fire" as it was described by another poster.

“Should the public discover the true health cost(s) of nuclear pollution, a cry would rise from all parts of the world and people would refuse to cooperate passively with their own death.”

In her article titled “Radioactivity: No Immediate Danger,” she coined a new word. “Omnicide” describes the ultimate human rejection of life. It’s “difficult to comprehend,” but it’s happening, she said.

She called industrial radioactive pollution “cumulatively greater than Chernobyl. We are now in a no-win situation with radioactive materials, where (it’s) acceptable to have cancer deaths, deformed children and miscarriages.”

Soon after 3/11 it was reported that an abberrant wind current had headed to Australia with Fuku radiation. Does anyone remember that?

Once again, do y'all agree with me that on the whole South America is safer given the prevailing pattern of the atmospheric circling and of the ocean currents?

BTW I am glad G.Research carried Lendemann's article. He's a really good guy in his 70s devoting his retirement to getting the word out. But it upsets me that he picked up the naturalnews article about new massive spewing into the atmosphere: if you read Mike's source, a Singapore paper, it addresses solely the underground storage leaks. Mike added the atmospheric part/no idea why, do you?

Governor of Tokyo in New York Promoting 2020 Tokyo Olympic Disses Istanbul, Says "Islamic Countries Are Fighting With Each Other , and They Have Classes"

" … At several points in the interview , Inose said that Japanese culture was unique and by implication superior , a widely held view in Japan .
He noted that the political scientist Samuel P. Huntington wrote in his book “The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order” that Japan was unlike any other culture … " …

BTW , what does it take to be " Unlike any other culture " ??
Selling radiactive food to the population/kids ? Dumping radiaoctive water in the Pacific ? Looking for a 'Battery Transport Permit ' when the reactors are melting ? Singing-without-an-orchestra and bukake ? 62.7 % of the voters setting in the Office this year a nuke-friendly government after the Fukushima event two years ago ?

The bad thing about the bioaccumulation of radioactive isotopes in highly populated central Japan is that authorities do little to protect citizens who can't evacuate.

One key example…it is hardly known among the affected public in contaminated zones yet widely known among medical doctors who specialize in radiation effects that radioactive cesium can be as conducive to thyroid cancer as radioactive iodine. As such, the prophylactic administration of potassium iodine is a smart health policy on a regular basis for every human in harm's way. Even the industry whores at WHO speculated on this in their IAEA-tainted 2006 twenty-year report on Chernobyl:

SP: The Japanese government has no interest in supplying citizens with the protective supplements or even offering advice on how much people who buy their own supplies should ingest for the next 500 years.

The 2006 WHO report was also notable for dismissing the possibility of other solid cancers (or vascular diseases and leukemia):

"Although ionising radiation has been shown to increase the risk of cancers at many sites, data from Chernobyl on cancers other than thyroid cancer are very sparse (UNSCEAR 2000).
No significant increase in the incidence of solid cancers (defined as all cancers excluding haematological malignancies) was seen in a cohort of over 55 000 Russian liquidators (Ivanov et al 2004) or among.residents of the contaminated region of Kaluga in Russia (Ivanov et al 1997)." [pg. 10]

SP: Then in the VERY NEXT paragraph the WHO Don't Knowits proceed to contradict their own words:

"Analyses of rates of breast cancer among subjects included in the Ukrainian Chernobyl registry indicated a significantly increased incidence compared to the general population (Prysyazhnyuk et al 2002). Increases in the incidence of breast cancer over time were also reported in the Mogilev region of Belarus (Ostapenko et al 1998). Both of these reports are difficult to interpret, as no information about radiation dose level was available. A more detailed ecological study was therefore conducted to describe the spatial and temporal trends in breast cancer incidence in Belarus and Ukraine (Pukkala et al 2006). A large increase in breast cancer incidence was found in all areas of Belarus and Ukraine, reflecting improvements in cancer diagnosis and registration."

"Only two case–control studies of childhood leukaemia have been published to date (Noshchenko et al 2002, Davis et al 2005). A significant association between leukaemia risk and radiation dose to the bone marrow was found in Ukraine but results are difficult to interpret due to problems in the selection and comparability of controls in Ukraine. No significant increase was seen in Belarus or Russia.
Thus, the current information is scant and conclusions cannot be drawn about possible increases in childhood leukaemia following the Chernobyl accident." [pg. 9]

SP: If you read Noshchenko's comprehensive report we find his information methodology was NOT SCANT and by building on the research of David the medical conclusions were certain:

"A significant increase in the leukemia risk, particularly myeloid leukemia, was observed 1–5 years after the radiation exposure" [pg 2]
